A Charlton drainage engineer,
on call 24/7 with a clear price before we start.
Local Andover drainage engineers covering Charlton. Blocked drains, high-pressure jetting, CCTV surveys and drain repairs, with a clear price agreed before we lift a cover.
Charlton sits just north-east of Andover town centre, about three miles out on the SP10 fringe. It's a mixed area, older village-edge housing blending into 1980s and 1990s residential estates that expanded as Andover grew outward. You'll find a range of pipe ages here, and we're out to jobs in Charlton regularly, everything from blocked drains on the newer semis to more stubborn problems in the older properties where the drainage infrastructure hasn't had much attention in decades.
We come into Charlton on the A343 or cut through off the Weyhill Road depending on traffic. The older housing stock sits on clay ground that drains slowly, and the mix of era means you're often dealing with clay pipe sections jointing onto later plastic runs, which is where the trouble starts. Tree roots are a genuine issue in the more established residential streets where mature oaks and ashes have had decades to work their way into pipe joints. Shared sewers are common on the earlier estates, which complicates things when a blockage affects more than one household.
Most common Charlton jobs
- Blocked drains on 1980s semis where root ingress has narrowed the pipe bore
- CCTV surveys to find the point where older clay pipe meets plastic and the joint has failed
- Clearing shared sewer blockages affecting multiple properties on the same run
- Slow-draining kitchen and bathroom waste caused by grease build-up in older pipework
- Drain repairs following collapsed sections in clay pipe on rear garden runs

Charlton FAQ
If the blockage is in a private shared sewer serving two or more properties before it reaches the public main, it's your joint responsibility to sort it, not Thames Water's. We can CCTV the run to confirm where the problem is and who's liable before any work starts, which saves arguments later.
